Hey sisters! Before I ever became a therapist or life coach, I was the woman who looked “strong” to everyone else… yet cried in the shower, pushed through burnout, and kept telling myself “just keep going.”
I prayed for peace while silently carrying emotional exhaustion I didn’t know how to name.
God met me there. He reminded me that strength wasn’t meant to be performed—it was meant to be supported.
That’s why I created my 7-week H.E.A.R.T. Program—for Christian women who are building businesses, raising families, serving others… and quietly fighting battles no one sees.
It’s a safe, Christ-centered space where we slow down, explore what’s heavy, and rediscover the woman God designed you to be: whole, grounded, and emotionally free.
If part of your story sounds like mine, I’d love to walk with you.
Drop a 💛 or message me privately, and I’ll share more info.
Praying strength, restoration, and peace over you today. 💛✨

Them: What will you be doing for the Holiday?

*Long Post*
Thanksgiving begins the end -of-year holiday and family celebrations which often create feelings of happiness and joy.
For many, this year’s holiday gatherings while joyful, will be very different and may provoke feelings of grief and loss. For some, feelings may be on an “roller coaster ride.” One may experience, happiness, joy, sadness, anger, irritability, nostalgia, and in some cases crying spells, all at once or in phases. For others the enemy may project lies masking as your thought that may increase feelings of guilt, overwhelming sadness and doubt; reject them.
Creating a mental or written gratitude list in the moment of “roller coaster feelings” changes your mental schema.
During this holiday season, use technology to your advantage and engage in video conferencing with loved ones. This will allow for opportunities to express your thankfulness, converse and play family games via a video conferencing platform.
For loved ones who are no longer with us, openly remembering the fun times will bring joy to the family. Let’s make the most out of the holiday season.
Finally, “in everything give thanks”and “bless the Lord at all times.”
If you are looking for a solution focused therapy experience, let’s see how I can assist you.
For those who have asked or thought, “how can I support?”
You can share this post or my flyer with women in the State of Maryland who you think will benefit. They can set up a “Fresh Start Inquiry” call with me via the QR code on the flier.
There is no time like the present to begin healing from the inside out.
Thank you for considering me a resource.💕
